An area of low pressure in the Eastern Pacific will make shore tonight and stall there causing a weakening in our ridge of high pressure. This will create increased cloud cover and lowering temperatures a bit by Saturday.

Today for Bishop & the Owens Valley: Sunny blue skies with high temperatures in lower 60s and lows in the mid 20s. Northwest wind 10 mph.

Today for Mammoth: Clear skies. Highs will be in the low 50s and lows should be around 17. South wind 5 - 10 mph.

Tomorrow for Bishop & the Owens Valley: Clear skies becoming partly cloudy late with highs in the upper 50s and lows in the mid 20s. South wind 10 mph.

Tomorrow for Mammoth: Partly cloudy skies with daytime temps in the lower 50s and evening temps around 18. Southwest wind 10 mph.

A dry northwest flow ahead of a developing ridge on Saturday night should keep our area dry with some high clouds and temperatures to near normal.

Air quality in the Owens Valley remains GOOD; PM-10 levels at Fort Independence and Lone Pine for 8 am this morning are 6.57 and 11.13 ug/m3.
